Millenium Mango

Looks like ordinary magoes right?

well then... they're not! because...

just like this one... weighs more than half a kilo and is 8 inches long! My father got the seedlings of this Millenium Mango from Mr. Bernie Dizon, an agricultural scientist. Mr. Dizon give free seminars  with regards to propagating fruit trees.

Here Comes Goodbye...

I can't remember when was the first time I heard this... 

A very  sad song... 

Both the lyrics and the video gives me a heavy heart because...

Here Comes Goodbye

Rascal Flatts

I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like her to drive that slow, nothings on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell


Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear Im gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought Id see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride


Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear Im gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed(d)
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye


Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye

Oh-oh-oh-oh


Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye 

My Lolo Isidro and the 2010 Election

I've been checking the pictures on my camera phone and saw the pictures I've taken last January 1, 2009 during the Torino's Annual Reunion. This was hosted  my Mother's younger sister, Mommy Let. That was the first time that I was able to see a picture of my Grandfather. My Lolo Isidro died in 1964 and I don't know what he looks like because my mom don't have any picture of him. 

My Lolo Isidro became our town's councilor for two terms. I asked my mom why he isn't wearing an all white suit just like others during the inauguration and my mom said that they cannot afford to have one. He don't even have the money to finance the campaign, good thing that he has lots of friends and acquaintances who believe in him and help him won the election.

A year from now, May 10, 2010 to be exact, the Philippines will held its National and Local Election. As early as now, you can easily identify people who will run for public office (again?!). They are so visible on television shows/commercials, billboards and other social events. I just hope that who ever wins the election in any position will be a public servant and not just a politician.
